That said whilst my first reaction to seeing this was WANT! it only took a seconds consideration to realise that a CitroÃ«n from the glory days in this condition should provoke only one reaction no matter how Bruce it looks: Run. Run like the fucking wind. A 2CV may very well be repairable by a farmer with a screwdriver, a CX on the other hand needs an owner with a Masters in plumbing and electronics. Still want though...

It's a shame that homogenisation in the car industry has seen most of CitroÃ«n's design flair submerged to such an extent that their products could be interchangeable with Peugeot, Renault, or god forbid Ford or Vauxhall these days.

French designer Ora-Ito has just designed a UFO inspired by the classic CitroÃ«n design language of the DS. I like it. It shows that there are certain distinct styling cues that are CitroÃ«n without having to fall back on a 'retro' car design, they should totally apply this to their cars.

The Citroen SM was one cool French/Italien hybred that helped to bankrupt Citroen in the early 70's. They didn't know they were costing more to make then they were being sold for. Merde!These are the two I like the most. The owner loved his SM so much he ran it up to 203mph at Boniville and built the pick up to tow it there.http://www.maserati-alfieri.co.uk/enthusiast176/hathaway_citroen_sm-01a.jpg
